🇬🇧 5 Common Mistakes People in the United Kingdom Make When Using LifeWave Patches (And How to Avoid Them)
After working with over 1,100 clients worldwide over the past two years, including many in the United Kingdom, I’ve noticed the same mistakes come up again and again. The good news? They’re all easy to avoid with a bit of guidance.
Before we dive in, let me quickly explain how these patches work.
Understanding LifeWave Phototherapy
LifeWave patches use phototherapy, a light-based wellness technology that has roots in ancient healing practices. They are non-transdermal, meaning nothing enters your body. No drugs, no chemicals, no supplements. Instead, each patch contains a proprietary crystal matrix that reflects your own infrared heat back into the skin at specific wavelengths. This stimulates targeted points on the body, similar to acupressure.
The most popular patch, X39, supports overall wellness by promoting the body’s natural healing processes. It works with a peptide called GHK-Cu, which is known to support healthy cellular function and vitality.
Mistake #1: Starting with Too Many Patches

Starting slowly can make a difference
It’s exciting to discover something that helps, and it’s tempting to try everything at once. But layering on too many patches too soon can overwhelm your system. Think of it like beginning a new exercise programme. You wouldn’t go from no movement to marathon training overnight.
I usually recommend starting with X39 on its own or paired with Aeon (which supports healthy inflammation and stress levels). From there, we layer in other patches based on how your body responds.
Tip: Wear patches for up to 12 hours, then give your body 12 hours of rest to process the signal properly. This rhythm is what clinical studies were based on.
Mistake #1.5: Assuming You Won't Get Support Internationally
One concern I often hear from UK clients is: "Will someone from another country actually support me?"
The answer is yes. I work with clients in the UK every single week. While I’m based in the US, I respond to emails within 24 hours (often much sooner), and I offer support via WhatsApp when our schedules align. Time zones actually work in your favour, you ask a question, and I often have a response waiting when you wake up.
Mistake #2: Wearing Them Inconsistently
Phototherapy works best with consistency. This isn’t like taking a painkiller for immediate relief, the patches encourage your body’s natural systems, which means the changes are more gradual.
If you're skipping days, you may never get to the point where those benefits can build. A simple routine, like keeping your patches next to your toothbrush, can make it effortless to remember.
Mistake #3: Not Tracking Progress
Because the changes can be subtle at first, it’s easy to forget where you started. I always recommend that clients:
Write down their top symptoms
Take note of energy and sleep patterns
Log any discomfort or inflammation
Take before photos if appearance is a goal
When we review these notes together in a few weeks, it’s often amazing to see how much progress has been made.
Mistake #4: Ignoring Placement
These patches are designed to work with the body's energy meridians, similar to acupuncture points. For example, X39 is commonly placed either below the belly button or at the base of the neck.
But placement can vary depending on what you’re addressing. That's why many wellness practitioners recommend LifeWave in their clinics.
Note: Each patch is ionically charged and only effective once. Reusing one won't give the same results.
Mistake #5: Expecting the Patches to Fix Everything Alone
The patches are powerful, but they’re not a magic fix. If you're chronically dehydrated, eating poorly, or not sleeping, your results may be limited.
I always encourage my clients to support their bodies with the basics:
Filtered water
Nutrient-dense meals
Gentle movement and fresh air
Adequate rest
When the foundation is strong, the patches amplify your efforts.
Bonus: Dismissing It Before You Try It
I nearly did this myself. I heard about LifeWave multiple times and dismissed it. It sounded too far-fetched.
It wasn’t until my best friend (not a Brand Partner) tried the patches for herself that I took a second look. The visible, undeniable changes she experienced made me reconsider.
Two years later, I’ve seen these patches support over a thousand people. I use them daily, as does my husband, and even my tiny Yorkshire Terriers. (While not tested for pets, it speaks to how much I believe in this technology.)
